Drury notched an assist in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Drury saw 14:08 of ice time Saturday, and his playing time has been trending in the right direction lately. He's still the fourth-line center for the Hurricanes, so he'll struggle to put up consistent offense barring a move up the lineup. Drury's assist was his first point of the year to go with three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating through four outings.

Drury signed a two-year, $3.45 million contract with the Hurricanes on Wednesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

EDGE Analysis

Drury was a restricted free agent after completing his entry-level contract. He had eight goals, 27 points and 33 PIM in 74 regular-season contests with Carolina in 2023-24. Drury is likely to open the upcoming season as a member of the third line.

Drury registered two even-strength assists in Monday's 4-1 win over the Rangers in Game 5.

It was the first two points of the series for Drury and his first multi-point outing of the playoffs. In addition, the 24-year-old had three shots, two blocks, two hits and a plus-2 rating in 10:28 of ice time. Drury is up to one goal and four assists with a plus-6 rating in 10 contests this postseason.

The 24-year-old forward had 27 points, 106 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over 74 appearances in his first full campaign.
